Despite finishing 4-8 last season, the strength of the UCLA Football team was the defense. In his second season with the Bruins, Tom Bradley made sure that his guys did not let up despite the fact that the offense struggled to find rhythm, cohesion and a first down in the second half of the 2016 season.
This year, Bradley looks to continue to have his players dominate, though it seems like they will be even better. Despite losing several players, the defense has reloaded with some very talented freshmen as well as developed some of the younger Bruins that have been in the system for the last two seasons.
